MIT's Graduate Program in Linguistics was established in 1961, awarding its first doctoral degrees in 1965. Alumni have since joined prestigious linguistics departments worldwide, forming a vibrant intellectual network that strengthens modern linguistics as a dynamic field within cognitive science. The Department of Linguistics and Philosophy runs the Indigenous Language Initiative (MITILI), providing a two-year master's program culminating in a Master of Science (SM) in Linguistics. This specialized program supports members of indigenous communities working to preserve endangered languages, equipping them with crucial linguistic skills. MITILI also creates avenues for MIT students and faculty to engage with indigenous and endangered languages through collaborations with native speaker linguists in the master's program and external organizations.
